Matt groaned. "No matter what happened that night, she's not going to leave Stefan."

Tyler glared at him, "Nothing happened."

Matt could see the way that Elena was looking at Tyler. She was looking at him with the same regretful look that she had given Matt when she first got with Stefan. "What happened that night anyway?"

"Nothing. Fucking. Happened. She came to the boarding house. We chatted. She left." Tyler lied. How was he meant to explain that she had come over and they had stayed together until the sun rose. How could he say that the talking led to cuddling, which led to making out, which lead to.. He was Tyler fucking Lockwood, he didn't cuddle to begin with, and although he wasn't known to have the best morals, he didn't sleep with other guys girlfriends.

But that night he had. Now, locking eyes with Elena seemed like the hardest thing to do. She had her arms wrapped tightly around Salvatore's neck. It should be his neck, not Stefan's. She hadn't sat up all night that night with Stefan. She hadn't moaned 'Stefan' that night. She hadn't spent the night curled up against Stefan's body. She was with Tyler, moaning Tyler, curled up against Tyler.

"Nothing happened." Tyler repeated, trying to convince himself because it seemed Elena had managed to convince herself.
